Ghana for USAID
Producer/DP/Editor: Konrad Aderer
Near Accra, the capital city of Ghana, Liberians still live in a refugee camp where basic needs are precious.

Below is a rough sample of footage I shot covering a USAID-funded eye clinic in Budumburam refugee camp.

When Hillier Architecture, one of the largest and most prestigious architecture firms in the U.S., needed an extreme shooter/producer to capture one of their most ambitious projects, I jumped at the chance.

Asian American Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization based in New York City organized their first outdoor music showcase in Chinatown featuring a talent-packed roster of local Asian American performers. The public concert held in Columbus Park in August 2007. It was the first music fest in Chinatown since the events of 9/11 and it is one of the many symbols of rebirth and rejuvenation in that community since the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan.
